general problems of the 2010 BMW 328

2010 BMW 328i xdrive: had in for recall pcv 1/08/2025. This vehicle has had a prior recall for same issue before I owned in 2014. Motorwerks BMW failed to complete recall, as parts and repair bulletin from BMW of America has parts list. Motorwerks just chose to put items, subtitled under other services/self pay. When I asked about this they responded that car was out of warranty . . . . As build date put it a year out? a recall is a recall its forever, or the life of car. Not when they the dealer/shop and BMW right? I have filed and called and complained to numerous places including ncds, BMW of America and have gotten no traction or reasonable response. Now I'm having vanos related issues, serious issues, but no recall listed?, even though the year and style and build date put it in parameters of safety recall not just manufacture voluntary recall.

After running errands and car had been parked for an hour or so, I returned to my vehicle and it would crank but would not start. After trying to start a few times it finally started and I was able to make it home without having to call a tow truck (or being abandoned in a mall parking lot in the middle of the night). My car drove fine the next day, after driving for about an hour I parked at my parents home during a visit that lasted an hour or so. When returning to my vehicle to leave the same thing happened as before. It would crank but would not start. It took a few tries to start and then it ran fine and I was able to make it home with no issue. It started okay the following day and I was able to drive to and from work (approx. 8 miles). After parking over night I went to start vehicle and it would not start at all. It would crank but would not start. I had the battery replaced thinking it was an old battery (2010 vehicle) this would still not work, the car was also not able to be jumped from the engine compartment, may have something to do with the battery lines or fuel pump?previous recall? I did not own this vehicle prior to 2018 so I am not sure if this could be the issue? or properly repaired previous recall? recently April 2022 recall-pcv valve heater. The recall information claims that it is only activated in "cold weather climates" and that it may not have been produced to specifications by the supplier. Over time this could lead to overheating in the engine compartment. In some cases, this could lead to fire! this recall's remedy is unavailable at this time which is extremely concerning. I am actually scared to attempt to continue to inspect, as this recall can cause a fire. If this was a recall regarding windows, or windshield wipers that would be a little easier to deal with, but fires! the recall info requested drivers and passengers to dial 911 and immediately move to a safe location away from traffic if you see smoke/funny smell no remedy availabl.

The car is experiencing rough idles and an imbalance in the overall performance. The pcv valve is not allowing enough air to return to the combustion chamber, creating a rough idle as the levels are imbalanced. It’s also causing a lean air to fuel mixture, oil leaks and increased fuel consumption. The pcv valve hoses became blocked by built-up moisture causing high pressure to be built up in the engine crankcase. The only way for this high pressure to escape is up through the cylinders and out of the gaskets, thus causing the gaskets to lose their seals. Oil is now able to leak out of the gaskets because the seal has been ruptured. I’ve already spent thousands of dollars on services including gasket changes.
